Pics - CF Dash!!
Alright, here is the preliminary pictures of my new CF Dash. It is just placed in right now. As I still have to make sure it all fits together and works fine. So far, so Good.
No, it is NOT Real Carbon Fiber. Pictures do NOT do it justice. It looks deep, and 3 dimensional. It has a Weave pattern which is extremely realistic. It is a process called Photolithographic or “water-transfer” printing. It is what car dealers use for “Wood” Trim as well.
I have other pieces already done, like the door handle surrounds, the overhead light surrounds, the e-brake, power windows surrounds, etc.
Well enough talk, onto the PICS!
I still have to put in the A/C vents, lights, etc, but you can see the big picture.
Don’t mind the pedals, I just placed them there to see how it would look together.
I even have the Gauge Cluster Trim surround done in that stuff. What I do want to do,
is have the actual gauges replaced with V8Kilr’s silver faced ones – OR, having the black trim done in Silver kinda like THIS
Grey/Black shift boot
– Waiting for my Momo Race Shift **** to come in.
As you can see, it is very deep and reflective due to the clear-coat.
Momo Millennium Steering Wheel
Close-up of some of the gauges.

I feel like I need to change the ***** to something metallic/titanium. I have another set of ***** done in the same material, but am not crazy about it.
I was thinking of using some Cannibalized Autometer Trim rings to go around the A/C
Controls. Giving it the proposed look you see below look you see below.
Misc Pictures.
ENGINE etc.. (Going in this weekend!!)

That's a very nice FB... extremely clean. Did you make the dash yourself? If so how hard was it?

It looks good 
It certainly does NOT look like an ad-on kit.
I gotta come over one day and feel-up on your steering wheel
